FTFA In most random corners of the Internet, such a confession likely would have been met with an incredulous shrug or the flood derisive snark that's so often comes in response to an obvious plea for attention.

Peter (on phone): Uh.. I, uh.. I took some acid.. I'm afraid to leave my apartment, and I can't wear any clothes.. and the ceiling is dripping, and uh.. I, uh..

Walter Cronkite: Well, thank you very much for calling, sir..

President Jimmy Carter: Just a minute, Walter, this guy's in trouble. I think I better try to talk him down. Peter?

Peter (on phone): Yeah..?

President Jimmy Carter: Peter, what did the acid look like?

Peter (on phone): They were these little orange pills.

President Jimmy Carter: Were they barrel shaped?

Peter (on phone): Uh.. yes.

President Jimmy Carter: Okay, right, you did some orange sunshine, Peter.

Peter (on phone): Very good of you to know that, sir.

President Jimmy Carter: How long ago did you take it, Peter?

Peter (on phone): Uh.. I don't know. I can't read my watch.

President Jimmy Carter: Alright, Peter, just listen. Everything is going to be fine. You're very high right now. You will probably be that way for about five more hours. Try taking some vitamin B complex, vitamin C complex.. if you have a beer, go ahead and drink it..

Peter (on phone): Okay..

President Jimmy Carter: Just remember you're a living organism on this planet, and you're very safe. You've just taken a heavy drug. Relax, stay inside and listen to some music, Okay? Do you have any Allman Brothers?

Peter (on phone): Yes, I do, sir. Everything is okay, huh Jimmy?

President Jimmy Carter: It sure is, Peter. You know, I'm against drug use myself, but I'm not going to lay that on you right now. Just mellow out the best you can, okay?

unlikely:Do they tell you where to get acid? I heard that stuff had pretty much vanished from the face of the earth in the 90s.

Haven't seen it around here since 97 or so (haven't been looking either though), but there was a HUGE bust in 2000ish of a lab that the DEA (yes, consider the source, cop math, etc.) claimed was making some 90% or more of the USA's supply. It's not like meth, you pretty much need a degree in organic chemistry to pull that one off. Not to mention plenty of chemicals that the DEA has on their "snitch list" as well as pretty much becoming a rye/ergot farmer. I've been told, that is.

If you're rich or just extremely well-connected you can certainly find it. But us plebs usually end up with an RC like DOB or similar that gets passed off as LSD. But if you've ever had real LSD you can easily tell the difference. I knew one guy who could get it, but it was expensive and you had to basically pre-order from him months in advance.

Gunny Highway:Ethertap: I saw a band named bad acid trip once. The name was accurate. IIRC the lead singer dry humped a chucky doll on stage.

They are a ton of fun. The lead singer is a riot. He climbed onto one of the amps or PAs or something and acted like he was going to jump off only to climb down very carefully. Lots of fun.

This was back in '05, have they improved? It was a good show overall though - bad acid trip - mars volta - system of a down. Floor tickets, left the show with significantly less blood than I came in with. (I took an elbow to the nose at some point)

Never cared much for acid. I don't like anything where I can't at least try to steer my way through a trip. Ended up in some weird places, only realizing it usually when someone else is asking me who the fark I am, why the fark am I there, and why the fark am I not gone already.

The absolute last time was about 20 years ago when I found myself being tossed out of a titty bar at 4 in the morning, when the last thing I remembered was eating lunch at a Wendy's and someone saying 'Dude... these are insane. You've gotta try one.'

I remember making use of a closet a few times. I'm a lightweight with drugs. My brother used to do that shiat 4, shiats at a time. Back when Jimmy Carter was president. I think his brain is OK now though.

Harm reduction websites aren't really any thing new or original, but I like the motivation behind them. People are always going to do drugs, and if we can help get them through it safely, I'm all for it. Message boards for help with withdrawal were a God send to me a couple years ago.

Mambo Bananapatch:Five hours?! In my day, if you did any acid you were out of commission for 2 or 3 days.

Wow, talk about old times. 70's blotter tabs and the Allman Brothers. The last time I ever did any was the night I saw them on their Enlightened Rogues tour. And listening to Houses of the Holy. I must have played Over The Hills And Far Away about a million times in a row.
